Leviticus states that the only meat that's acceptable to eat is from "any animal that has a cloven hoof that is completely split into double hooves, and which brings up its cud." It's so specific that you can't really deny it: Jews are not supposed to eat pork.
As opposed to its international counterpart, which is produced from parts that come from the belly, the upper chest, the back and the hind legs, in Hook the kosher bacon is produced only from the small front part of the lamb's belly, in a strip parallel to the classic cut.

Turkey bacon is an alternative also for people who do not eat pork for religious or dietary reasons. Pork is haram (not halal) to Muslims and treyf (not kosher) to Jews.
Halal refers to the method used to cure the meat as opposed to the specific type of meat. For this reason, halal bacon can be made with almost any type of halal food or halal meat colored or formed to look like a piece of bacon. The reason pork is inappropriate is that it is not allowed under kosher or Islamic law.
Certain foods, notably pork, shellfish and almost all insects are forbidden; meat and dairy may not be combined and meat must be ritually slaughtered and salted to remove all traces of blood. Observant Jews will eat only meat or poultry that is certified kosher.
